I got bitten by some insect on my thigh on Tuesday, and it started to swell, so I went to a general physician who assured me there was nothing to worry about and gave me a tablet. But today, it's hurting again, and when I used a pin to check the area, a lot of blood suddenly came out. I'm really concerned about what's going on. Could you please advise?

You may have inadvertently drained an abscess or a hematoma that formed as a result of the insect bite, and while it may provide temporary relief, it's essential to consult the general physician again or visit an urgent care center to assess the wound, prevent infection, and receive proper treatment, such as antibiotics or further drainage, to promote healing and avoid complications.

I've noticed a little bit of bleeding from my belly button since yesterday. It's just a tiny drop, and I don't have a fever. My blood sugar levels are stable too. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that might resolve on its own? I'd love to get some insight on what might be happening.
